Reviews Ive seen of the FRP say great on a track, too hard and crashy on the road.

Well, if Tiff Needell likes it, thats good enough for most! I suppose his only worry with it was the price, not an issue now, I'd call that a thumbs up! Cheers for finding that!

Bit of a mixed review-he liked the seats but wasnt sure about rest of interior, loved exterior looks, and said handling was great on race track type surface but not on everyday roads. The last point is something Ive heard before from some owners, but that's the price you pay when it goes round corners so well.

I have been driving a standard 1.7 for the last week while my FRP is in for repair.
It is much nicer to live with as a everyday drive than the FRP and like Tiff says on uneven roads the car can get twitchy (decent Tyre's help)

But I wouldn't go back to a 1.7 :-D
On that smooth corner or roundabout the FRP is second to none!

FRP back today :cheer:
four figure repair bill :shock:

 

[Noodoo]

I have a 1.7 but wouldn't mind having a go of the FRP!
Jeeesus Christ man, 4 figures? What did you do?

4 figures? A New wing or bumper fitted and painted would do that...
